Options: The Secret Life of Steve Jobs - A Parody Review
Options: The Secret Life of Steve Jobs - A Parody Overview
Welcome to the mind, to the world of Fake Steve Jobs. Fake Steve the counterintuitive management guru: “Obviously we can’t literally put our employees’ lives at risk. But we have to make them feel that way.” Fake Steve the political hobnobber: “I can see why they keep Nancy Pelosi under wraps. Wacky as a dime watch.” Fake Steve quoting friend/musician/philosopher Bono on road etiquette: “Tink about dat next toim yer cuttin off some bloke and you don’t know who it is, right? Could be Jay-sus. Or Boutros Boutros-Ghali or sumfin.” And on, yes, himself: “Geniuses have feelings, too.” In the tradition of Thank You for Smoking and in the spirit of The Onion, Options is a novelistic sendup and takedown of Silicon Valley, Hollywood, and Washington, D.C., as viewed by a central character who exists, to his immense self-satisfaction, at the crossroads of all three worlds: “It’s like in one of those movies where a guy realizes he’s got telekinetic powers and it’s just too bad if he doesn’t want them, he’s got them. Likewise, I have this gift. It’s who I am.”

Steve Jobs (Real-Life Reader Biography) Review
Steve Jobs (Real-Life Reader Biography) Overview Real-Life Reader Biographies present the lives of contemporary role models for young readers. These are the stories of real men and women who, despite many obstacles, followed their dreams.
If ever there were a person whom we could accuse of "thinking differently," it would be Steve Jobs. Though he is largely responsible for the fate of Apple Computer, Inc., he did not invent the personal computers Apple sells. That is mostly attributed to his partner, Steve Wozniak. Jobs claims that "Woz" was the first person he met who knew more about electronics than he did. As young kids back in the 1970s, Jobs and Woz started Apple Computer in Jobs' garage with ,300 the two had saved.
When Jobs was twenty years old, he made his first million dollars. He made his first billion when he was forty. He is one of the most important people in two different revolutions that enrich and entertain all of us today--the movies. But when Steve Jobs was born, he had nothing, not even a mom or a dad. His biological parents gave him up for adoption. He was lucky to be adopted by some wonderful people who made Steve important in their lives.
Here is the story of Steve Jobs and his incredible rise to the top of the business world.

Inside Steve's Brain Overview Steve Jobs has turned his personality traits into a business philosophy. Here’s how he does it.
It’s hard to believe that one man revolutionized computers in the 1970s and ’80s (with the Apple II and the Mac), animated movies in the 1990s (with Pixar), and digital music in the 2000s (with the iPod and iTunes). No wonder some people worship him like a god. On the other hand, stories of his epic tantrums and general bad behavior are legendary.
Inside Steve’s Brain cuts through the cult of personality that surrounds Jobs to unearth the secrets to his unbelievable results. It reveals the real Steve Jobs—not his heart or his famous temper, but his mind. So what’s really inside Steve’s brain? According to Leander Kahney, who has covered Jobs since the early 1990s, it’s a fascinating bundle of contradictions.
Jobs is an elitist who thinks most people are bozos—but he makes gadgets so easy to use, a bozo can master them.
He’s a mercurial obsessive with a filthy temper—but he forges deep partnerships with creative geniuses like Steve Wozniak, Jonathan Ive, and John Lasseter.
He’s a Buddhist and anti-materialist—but he produces mass-market products in Asian factories, and he promotes them with absolute mastery of the crassest medium, advertising.
In short, Jobs has embraced the traits that some consider flaws—narcissism, perfectionism, the desire for total control—to lead Apple and Pixar to triumph against steep odds. And in the process, he has become a self-made billionaire.
In Inside Steve’s Brain, Kahney distills the principles that guide Jobs as he launches killer products, attracts fanatically loyal customers, and manages some of the world’s most powerful brands.
The result is this unique book about Steve Jobs that is part biography and part leadership guide, and impossible to put down. It gives you a peek inside Steve’s brain, and might even teach you something about how to build your own culture of innovation.
